An indignant patron who police said was ejected from a Feltonville bar for being unruly returned to the establishment early yesterday and shot seven people inside, killing one.

The man, who was in his mid-20s, initially scuffled with security outside La Quinta Restaurant and Bar, 5th Street near Courtland, after getting kicked out sometime after midnight, said Sgt. Ray Evers, a police spokesman.

He eventually left, but about 45 minutes later, about 1 a.m., the man returned to the bar and shot through the restaurant's glass door before entering the building and firing "indiscriminately" at the more than 50 people inside, Evers said.

When the gun smoke cleared, seven people had been shot. The suspect fled and is still at large.

A 35-year-old man, whose identity has not been released pending family notification, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to his chest. He was pronounced dead at 1:34 a.m. at Albert Einstein Medical Center, police said.

A 26-year-old man who was shot once in the stomach was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was in critical condition.
